Inaugural India-UAE Partners in Progress Conclave set to be held on May 15 in Dubai

Dubai, May 10, 2025 — In a significant move to deepen strategic and economic ties, the inaugural India-UAE Partners in Progress Conclave is set to take place on May 15, 2025, in Dubai. The high-level event will bring together government officials, business leaders, industry experts, and innovators from both nations.
Organized by the Indian Consulate in Dubai in collaboration with key UAE trade bodies, the conclave aims to foster stronger bilateral engagement in sectors including technology, infrastructure, renewable energy, healthcare, and fintech.
Officials say the conclave comes at a crucial time as both countries are witnessing robust trade growth, with bilateral trade expected to surpass $100 billion by the end of 2025.
“This conclave will not only celebrate the enduring India-UAE relationship but will also serve as a launchpad for future-focused partnerships,” said Dr. Aman Puri, Consul General of India in Dubai.
The event will feature keynote addresses from influential leaders, panel discussions on emerging business trends, and signing of several MoUs between Indian and UAE companies.
With over 3.5 million Indians residing in the UAE, the partnership between the two nations is considered one of the strongest in the region. UAE is India’s third-largest trading partner and a vital hub for Indian diaspora-driven entrepreneurship.
The conclave is also expected to highlight the role of startups and SMEs in shaping the next decade of collaboration, with a dedicated innovation pavilion planned as part of the agenda.
Delegates from sectors such as education, logistics, clean energy, tourism, AI, and digital governance will also participate, making it a truly cross-sectoral summit.
Analysts predict this will pave the way for annual editions of the conclave, reinforcing Dubai’s role as a global meeting point for Indo-UAE cooperation.
As the event approaches, registrations have opened for industry stakeholders, and a strong turnout is anticipated.
The conclave is poised to not only enhance business opportunities but also strengthen the shared vision of prosperity and progress between India and the UAE.
